“I’m no CGI fan, but today’s state-of-the-art technology trick is it has to be done right. So you don’t see it. You don’t see the video. Or tigers walking around. Three cameras work to just report the actor’s performance.

“Chris Walken designed a 10,000-year-old extinct gorilla to look just like him. His performance was brilliant.”

Wasn’t director Favreau once a comedian?

“Yes. And that’s great training. Comedy, handling the audience, is a puzzle. You have to figure things out. I love puzzles. I still do jigsaw puzzles. And that’s what this state-of-the-art computer technology was — a puzzle. It took me three years to do this one.”

I couldn’t understand whatthehell he was talking about so I did the only intelligent thing — I went for the popcorn.

Hill shows support for LGBT

Hillary and Chelsea did LGBT fundraisers in Park Avenue apartments and private spaces downtown. It was babies and strollers and smaller younger groups. Tickets were $250.

As surreptitiously recorded by a friend, she said in part:

“At HillaryClinton.com, sign up, canvass, phone, take people to the polls. Start treating each other with dignity, respect. Learn from one another, not be divided . . . Everyone struggles, there are tough choices, we all get knocked down. Know that with others making Supreme Court appointments, we might not recognize our country in five to eight years.

Dining together for some reason: Bradley Cooper and Sean Penn. In Santa Monica.

There’s hope

Bob Hope’s 5-acre Toluca Lake property, up for $27.5 mil, now down to half that, needs a buyer. Having visited, I describe what I remember:

Iron gate, winding road, and a giant aerie. Round. Cantilevered roof. He told me: “It’s built out so you see the whole horizon.” From the vast tiled terra cotta living room twinkle Palm Springs’ night stars and lights. Dining room, armory-size. Billiard room downstairs seated 21. Adjoining a sitting room and office, his master bedroom had master closets. One with 70 pairs of golf slacks.

Not a shabby little place.

Bits & pieces

Here’s what they’re saying: Keira Knightley on paparazzi proliferation being like a scene out of Hitchcock’s “The Birds.” “First there were three of them, then eight, 10, then millions and it was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ ” . . .

Harvey Keitel: “I say, ‘Here’s who I’ve worked with. Show me who you’ve worked with.’ Rumor and gossip are a bit like murder. But, hey, I do read that stuff in the bathroom.”

At a supermarket on the West Side: “Bernie Sanders doing so well in the polls we hear he’s thinking of starting to date again.”
